And while Edith’s home town is a nice, trim, going little city of some 4,000 souls, every sixth one of which has an automobile, statistic show, still—it isn't much like New York. And Edith had never before been farther from home than Mii waukee. Edith thought we had reached New York when we stopped at New. ark, N.

The rich corridor Nanked with its gay newsetand, ite theatre ticket booth, its flower and candy shops, its constantly ascending and descending elevators, the prosperous men and women who moved about intent upon their business and pleasure—all made a kaleidoscopic whirl in the mind of the little coun try girl beside me. Her bewildered eyes opened wider, her soft lips framed a new “OH-H!™ Up to the parlor and bedroom that fs to be her temporary home, we shot. Edith stood transfixed.
